The 16th Ceramic Industry Rising Stars List, 2020

 

On April 28, 2020, the 16th New Talent Awards Ceremony was solemnly held at the Foshan New Media Industrial Park. Huang Xinhong, Chair of the New Talent Awards Review Committee and President of the China Building Materials Circulation Association; Xu Ping, Executive Director of the Foshan Ceramic Society and a seasoned technical expert in the ceramics industry; Huang Huining, another veteran technical expert in the ceramics sector; Wei Hua, Vice Dean of the Academy of Arts and Crafts at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts; Zhuo Kun, Deputy Director of the National Center for Supervision and Inspection of Ceramic and Plumbing & Bathroom Product Quality; and Danilo Trevisan, founder of the IDA Italian Design Association and an architect‑planner, jointly witnessed the grand unveiling of the “16th China Ceramics Industry New Talent Awards.”

 

 

The Rising Stars List, often dubbed the “Oscars of the ceramics industry,” is the most prestigious industry‑wide accolade in the sector. It is the longest‑running and broadest‑based awards program in the ceramic and bathroom fixtures industries, and currently the only authoritative initiative that recognizes innovation across the entire value chain—spanning ceramic machinery and equipment, chemical raw materials, ceramic tiles, bathroom products, distributors, and other upstream and downstream enterprises and individuals.

 

In this year’s selection, Meiyi Tao Enterprise was awarded two honors: the “Technological Innovation Award” and the “Product Favored by Engineering Users.” Specifically, the technology behind the “New‑Type Multi‑Level Porous Eco‑Friendly Insulating Decorative Panel” (foam ceramic) received the “Technological Innovation Award,” while our company’s floor tiles and quartz stone thick bricks (with thicknesses ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 cm) were recognized as a “Product Favored by Engineering Users (Tile Category).”

 

 

 

We are grateful for the recognition and support of the ceramics industry. For the past eleven years, the Meiyitao team has remained committed to technological innovation as its core and environmental protection as its responsibility. In response to the escalating environmental challenges and the growing depletion of natural resources, Meiyitao has consistently invested in cutting-edge equipment and new materials, developing green building products that combine aesthetic appeal with practical functionality.

 

The new porous, environmentally friendly thermal insulation wall panel (foam ceramic) is manufactured from ceramic waste, industrial solid waste, mine tailings, riverbed silt, and other by‑products, which are sintered at high temperatures using advanced, eco‑friendly processes. It represents a cutting‑edge material for wall decoration and thermal insulation. Foam ceramic boasts lightweight properties, resistance to aging and cracking, excellent performance under extreme temperature fluctuations, flame retardancy, water impermeability, and noise reduction. As a green, safe, energy‑saving, and environmentally responsible product, it enables the circular utilization of solid waste in ceramic‑producing regions, aligning with national industrial policies. Moreover, it delivers significant benefits in economic returns, social welfare, and environmental protection.

 

 

As a natural stone sourced from nature, granite is non-renewable. With the gradual depletion of mineral resources and the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, granite mining is facing ever stricter regulations.

Since the beginning of this year, stone-producing regions have intensified regulatory efforts, with a total of 199 mines and more than 3,187 stone-processing plants slated for rectification. In the first quarter, granite slab production fell 29% year on year, while data jointly released by the National Bureau of Statistics and China National Building Material Group show that from January to July, cumulative output of marble and granite slabs nationwide reached 382 million square meters, down 17% compared with the same period last year.

 

Paving stone and quartz‑stone thick tiles help reduce the extraction of natural stone, aligning with the nation’s green‑development principles and effectively minimizing the environmental impact of stone mining. While delivering the realistic decorative appeal of natural stone, they eliminate the various inherent flaws of granite and surpass natural stone in a range of physical properties. Paving stone and quartz‑stone are the ideal substitutes for natural granite.
